Spain’s 2025 Gran Recogida Set to Launch With 10 Million-Kilo Goal

Organizers prioritize monetary donations to purchase needed foods quickly.

Overview

  • The nationwide drive runs this weekend across the 54 Fesbal food banks with in-store collections and online or checkout giving options.
  • Fesbal’s target is the equivalent of 10 million kilos for distribution to more than one million people across Spain.
  • Catalunya issues a last-day call for volunteers for some 2,000 collection points, with about 14,000 people needed and roughly 10,000 registered.
  • Córdoba readies 140 supermarkets with more than 1,000 volunteers, while Badajoz activates 51 stores and about 1,500 volunteers using both physical and monetary donation modes.
  • Local banks request ready-to-eat items such as canned fish, legumes and precooked vegetables to support households without kitchen access, and note that cash gifts enable targeted purchases with potential tax deductions.
